The perps had at least a two hour head start on LE. That gave them plenty of time to secure Elizabeth away before the alarm was sounded. If MK had waited a few minutes more before making her first attempt to wake her parents then maybe she wouldn't have seen the abductor the second time and the authorities would have gotten on the case sooner. The bottom line though is that it was the middle of the night, without a vehicle description to go on LE would have been severly hampered. Elizabeth should never have gone quietly and that is the lesson that we can all teach our children. My point in all of this is that even if LE had done everything perfectly, Elizabeth would probably still be gone.
Yes, I agree with this!

Yes, LE said that they left "on foot."

I agree, and at least you are NOT rude and listen to what others have to say! :) But, I still think that LE messed up, maybe thinking that they were doing the right thing...but, they messed up and they did mislead the public. Not to mention neighbors and well-meaning friends destroying possible evidence! I'm not going to harp on this anymore, but didn't anybody learn anything from the Jon-Benet Ramsey case?
(My ! are not meant to be rude...just my frustration, and are not meant to be taken personally.)
